This is a squeal to Spin The Bottle, if you didnt read it I'd suggest it because you probably wont get it. (:
Hotch's eyes fluttered open at the sunlight hitting his face through the window. He sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his face with a sigh. He looked at the clock and suddenly jumped out of bed, he was late for work. He quickly got dressed and rushed out of his apartment, driving to work. Hotch walked into the bullpen, hoping no one would notice his tardiness.
"Hey Hotch, thought you weren't gonna make it," Morgan laughed as he saw him.
Rossi, Garcia, and JJ laughed, Emily and Reid staying quiet.
"No one saw him go home, maybe he met someone," Rossi suggested with a laugh.
Hotch ignored them and walked into his office, throwing his briefcase down and sitting at his desk. He slumped in his chair and sighed, he had the biggest headache. A knock on the door made Hotch look up.
"Come in."
The door opened and Emily walked inside, closing the door behind her. Hotch suddenly felt uncomfortable, he didn't know if it was real or a dream but he was pretty sure he had made out with Emily the night before, he wasn't positive though.
"Hey," she smiled walking up to his desk.
"Uh... Hi, what do you need Prentiss?"
Emily's smile faded and she scratched her forehead.
"Sorry about everyone, they're being assholes," she said with a slight frown.
"It's fine, I don't care."
Emily stayed quiet; she noticed something was off with him. Had he remembered the night before? He called her Prentiss, was that a sign saying he didn't remember? She shook her head, throwing those thoughts away.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," he replied rubbing his eyes.
He looked up at her and she had that look on her face that made you want to tell her everything, perfect for interrogations. He sighed and shook his head.
"I have a headache," he said propping his head up on his elbows.
"Hold on," Emily said leaving the room.
Hotch sat there confused but shook it off. She came back a minute later with a bottle of aspirin.
"Here," she said holding it out to him.
Hotch didn't take it right away, but he did eventually take it. He removed two pills from the bottle and retuned it to her, taking the medication with a bottle of water on his desk. Emily stood there, slightly swaying her body back and forth.
"Thanks..." he said.
Emily smiled then headed for the door.
"Wait, Emily..." Hotch started.
"Yes?" she said with a hand on the door knob.
"What happened last night?"
"I don't know, what do you remember?"
Hotch scratched his forehead and thought for a bit.
"Uh... Spin the bottle. That's the last thing I remember... I think."
"You think?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Hotch nodded as Emily walked back over to his desk.
"There may be something else..." he said.
"Go on..." Emily said, with a hopeful grin.
"No, it's nothing. Never mind," he said shaking his head.
Emily's smile faded. He's so stubborn, she thought, just say it. She rolled her eyes and went for the door.
"Alright, if you want to tell me I'm here," she said leaving his office.
Hotch sat in his office alone and confused. Was it real? It felt real, but I can't remember. How drunk did I get? Should I just tell her, or will she freak out? Emily seems like she's not telling me something... Could that be it?
Hotch was pulled out of his thoughts by a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Rossi walked in with a smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry if I offended you or something," he said.
"No, you didn't," Hotch replied getting up to open the shade.
"Alright, well… bye," he said going for the door.
"Wait. What do you know about yesterday? What happened?"
Rossi smiled and sat down in the visitors chair across from Hotch's desk.
"Well when I left you were alone with Emily, something might've happened but I have no clue. You kissed her a few times playing spin the bottle and they were long kisses, and I mean long," he said still smiling.
Hotch sighed and sat at his desk. He sat silently for a while before nodding.
"Alright, thanks…" he said as Rossi got up, heading for the door.
He left leaving Hotch alone with only his thoughts. Should I tell her how I feel? Would she feel the same way? What if it was a dream? What if I tell her and she gets uncomfortable being around me? Why can't I remember anything? How much did I drink? Dammit Aaron, get it together! Hotch got up and walked out of his office, into the bullpen. He saw Emily sitting at her desk and called her over to the catwalk.
"Emily, come here," he called out, making her look up.
He motioned her over and she got up from her desk, walking up to the catwalk. She smiled at him as she walked over.
"Yeah, what do you need?" she asked in a very cheerful tone.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Of course."
Together they walked into Hotch's office and sat down. He hesitated before he spoke, making a long silence in the room. He finally just decided to get it out.
"Did we kiss last night?" he blurted out.
"Yeah, we played spin the bottle," Emily smiled, knowing what answer he really wanted.
"No, I mean like after that?"
"I don't know, why do you think we did?" she asked, hiding a smile.
"Emily!" he yelled getting impatient with her.
"Hotch!" she mocked, "just tell me, what you think happened and I'll tell you if it's true."
Hotch sighed. Should I just tell her? Whatever, I'll do it.
"Ok, what I think happened was after the club we made out and you brought me home… and I think you wanted me to ask you out," he said, trailing off.
Emily sat in her chair as she let a few laughs fly free in Hotch's office. Hotch's face turned bright red. Why is she laughing?
"What? Why are you laughing?" he asked, kind of offended.
Emily got up and walked behind his desk.
"Was it really that hard?" she smiled, "Come on Aaron, took you long enough."
Emily leaned over and placed a kiss on his soft lips. After they both reluctantly pulled away, Hotch smiled.
"Now how 'bout that date… Friday, 5:00?" he asked.
Emily nodded, gave Hotch another long kiss on the lips, and walked out of his office, leaving a smiling man behind.
